Can anyone tell me if the skyfox mech is noisy? I wonder about this as it has both the main and intermediate gear ratios geared as opposed to one being belt driven as in the Benzin mech.
Thanks

Make sure your meshes are not too tight between the clutch and the main gear. Do you have the nylon clutch? If so the it will take some time to run in the gears between the clutch and main gear and between the intermediate gear and the pinion from the gear box.

Sorry, I didn't read the question right. I have the Sky Fox and Benzin mechs, both in fuses. Both helis are pretty quiet compared to other nitro and gas powered machines I've flown. Due to it's low head speed I think my Benzin is a little quieter then my Sky Fox.
